On the retention problem, we study the case of a functional constraint on the set of disturbances. A construction of resolving quasistrategy based on the method of programmed iterations is proposed.

Some physicists believe that superselection rules should be implemented to get rid of inconsistencies when a theory is framed in terms of a new mathematical formulation, whilst others think that this new formulation should be modified…

In a view for a simple model where natural selection at the individual level is confronted to selection effects at the group level, we consider some individual-based models of some large population subdivided into a large number of groups.…

The addition of tunnel barriers to open chaotic systems, as well as representing more general physical systems, leads to much richer semiclassical dynamics. In particular, we present here a complete semiclassical treatment for these…

This paper investigates contraction properties of switched dynamical systems for the case that all modes are non-contracting, thereby extending existing results that require at least one mode to be contracting. Leveraging the property that…

We reconstruct finite-dimensional quantum theory with superselection rules, which can describe hybrid quantum-classical systems, from four purely operational postulates: symmetric sharpness, complete mixing, filtering, and local equality.…
